    Abstract Submission

    There will be some invited talks, however we encourage submission of abstracts from individuals on the workshop topics. Please send to this address as soon as possible.


    Proceedings

    Proceedings from the contributed talks will be published by the American Institute of Physics. Scanned copies of the talk will be available shortly afterwards on the web. Please send your manuscript to this address. Instructions for writing the manuscript will be given at the workshop. Manuscripts are due by Dec. 20.


    Airfare

    Most major airlines such as United Airlines (1-800-241-6522), American Airlines (1-800-433-7800) and Northwest Airlines (1-800-225-2525) have good connections to Los Angeles. For a good rate that does not even require a Saturday night stayover, check out America Trans Air (800-435-9282), Frontier Air (1-800-432-1359) and Reno Air (1-800-736-6247). Of course there are many others.

    Transportation

    You will not need a car during the conference and a cab ride is fairly cheap. So you are encouraged not to rent a car.

    Directions

    For an overview, see the area map.

    We also have a specific campus map. On that map, the Faculty Center, where we will be holding the workshop, (on 480 Circle Drive East) is "Building 40". The Claremont Hotel and Royal Palace are located on Tiverton Avenue near Lindbrook Avenue. The UCLA Guest House is "Building 10". The Physics Dept. is located in Knudsen hall, which is building 39.

    If you want to give specific instructions to the cab driver, use your hotel address. If you are driving here, then check out Detailed Directions.


    Registration

    Please send us THIS FORM to let us know you are coming so we have a head count.

    We will ask for $200 per person. This includes three continental breakfasts, three lunches, three afternoon coffees and two dinners. (The food at the Faculty Center is really good.) It also will include documentation of the workshop. Please pay in cash or by a check to "The Regents of the University of California" on the first morning of the workshop. Sorry, we can't take credit cards.


    Preliminary Agenda

    How's the weather in Los Angeles?


    Workshop "Banquet"

    The Workshop "Banquet" will be Friday night at the Acapulco Restaurant in Westwood. (Dinner speaker: B. Bolotovsky, "Reminiscences of Gurgen Askaryan")

    Sunday Trip

    We are arranging a trip to NASA/JPL's Goldstone Deep Space Network site near Barstow. The site includes the giant 70 m and numerous 34 m radio antennas used for spacecraft telemetry and tracking, for radio astronomy and for a UHE neutrino search.

    Miscellaneous

    The weather in Los Angeles is unpredictable. Bring warm and cool clothing.
    Bring an umbrella and sunglasses.
